Timemore C2

“I bought mine late last year and it's plastic so it is probably quite recent. But I'm not really bothered because I've not had any issues with it and I paid 50$ for it”

“I have bought 2 c2 grinders as gifts, one was a 'perfect' unit, and the other one was of noticeably less quality, but still a great grinder.”

“I have a later revision that fixes some of the issues, like better anodization, better threads on the grinds cup, but the shaft is still mounted in plastic and mine is also lopsided.”

“I moved from a C2 to a K6 a few years back, and it’s a noticeably brighter, cleaner cup, and I find it a bit easier to hit those juicy notes without also finding the muddy spots. But I still use the C2 exclusively at the cabin, and sometimes at home for giggles.”

“I have a JX Pro now and gave my SO the C2 and I still enjoy using it. honestly it’s only cause I do espresso that I needed to upgrade but I haven’t seen a life changing difference for filter coffee.”

“The first one started to have malaligned outer burrs after a couple of years, giving me awful awful cups. Second one started doing the same thing, just months after purchased.”

“The timemore c2 was my first 'good' manual burr coffee grinder, so I did not know what to expect, but I could never get a very good cup of coffee - something just seemed off.”

“Never had any issues with my c2 and plastic isn't the end of the world imo and considering it's priced maybe slightly above hario it is eons ahead of it.”

“I don't have any complaints about it per se, I've been pretty happy with the cups it makes.”

“I’ve gotten some pretty amazing cups with my C2. I often go for lower temp, lower extraction brews and usually enjoy what I make.”

“I have seen most of my complaints scattered throughout a number of other posts about the C2, so I expect that this level of variation in quality is to be expected.”

“I've got the timemore c2 (not the slim) and my adjustment dial is not plastic - its metal.”

“I think the new C2s (I have the new C2 Max) are mostly metal. The only piece of the plastic is the knob on the handle on my unit.”

“the three grinders I bought varied pretty wildly in terms of alignment. My first one spun freely, the second one wobbled, and one of them scraped the sides. It really is a crap shoot in terms of QC.”

“I'm on year 3 with mine, it's been ok but I don't use it every single day.”

“the C2 will be a significant step up from a cheap electric blade grinder. It produces balanced cups without much fuss.”

“I have 2 timemores chestnuts right now but they’re a teeny bit too bulky.”

“While the C2 is a nice grinder, it's also famous for producing a little too much fines. The cup it brews is on the denser, grittier side.”

“I've just found out mine is severely out of alignment (12 clicks before it doesn't grate against itself)”

“C2 seems more suited for medium and dark roasts.”

“I have a Timemore Slim and while I can echo some of your issues, like the loose cup, mine seems to be an all steel construction without visible plastic anywhere. It's a night and day difference from my crappy old grinder and it sees some heavy use”

“I got this during prime day for 50$. It’s great. Comfortably holds 30g coffee. Takes about 45 seconds to grind.”

“I went from a c2/chestnut slim to an ode 2 and it was a huge difference in consistency and flavor.”

“I have nbeen using the Timore c2 since early March and it has performed adequately. Two days ago, after months of painstakingly dialing my V60 pour over recipes and documenting all my daily brews without any forewarning my brews became very under extracted and sour.”
